Northeast Airlines
Convair 240-13 N91237
(c/n 140)
The Convairliner was ideal for
NEA's
stage lengths. The original fleet of six (of which
N91237
above was the first),
delivered in 1949 were augmented, five years later, by four
ex-Pan-American
aircraft.
They
served the airline well and were only replaced in the late 1950s by
the
Vickers
Viscounts. This aircraft went on to serve with Mohawk Airlines
in
1963, and Alaska Airlines into
the 1970s.
